Chicago Fire FC and U.S. Soccer have announced that three players from the Chicago Fire Academy have been selected for the U.S. U-15 Men’s Youth National Team's domestic training camp, scheduled from November 14 to 20 in Fayetteville, Georgia. The players called up are Finn McCraney, Jason Nemo, and Robert Turdean.

This marks the second event of the current U-15 USMYNT cycle for players born in 2010 under Head Coach Tom Heinemann. For Nemo and Turdean, this will be their third time attending a U.S. Youth National Team camp together and their second within this cycle at the U-15 level. They were previously part of Heinemann’s squad during a domestic training camp held in Fayetteville last October.

McCraney is experiencing his first call-up under Heinemann's leadership. All three athletes participated earlier this year in the U.S. U-14 Talent ID program from May 25 to 30 at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center in California.

Supporting Heinemann's staff at the upcoming camp will be Sammy Castellanos, head coach of Chicago Fire’s U-18 team, along with Bruno Cardoso, a former professional footballer who currently serves as a goalkeeper coach within the Fire Academy.
